Polar bear cubs forced to swim long distances with their mothers as their icy Arctic habitat melts appear to have a higher mortality rate than cubs that didn't have to swim as far, a new study reports.

That actually makes sense but doesn't mean anything other than bears that swim long distances tend to die more often The fact that they compare them to bares that don't swim long distances seems to negate their headline grabber.

There’s the sea ice map for today. Where on that map is it possible for a polar bear to swim just 100 miles, let alone ‘hundreds’, in order to transit open ocean between land masses and ice floes? It is not possible and this story is just sheer BS.

And how do you go about finding a lot of dead polar bear cubs which have obviously become bait??

They're going to have to convince me this is true with a lot of actual data...not projected data.

There were 50 long distance swims....IN 6 YEARS....

I think they created a very phoney stat.

"....swimming hundreds of miles (kilometers)...."

Pick one, nitwit.

They're not the same.

Kinda makes you wonder how polar bears survived this long . OTOH, retreating sea ice ought to spell good new for belugas, narwhales, walrus, etc.

I also wonder about any photo reputing to show polar bears atop some spindly hunk of ice. Why would - if they could - climb up there ? Photochop hasn’t any conscience or brains. >PS
